OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by Oldest of 4 on September 19, 2010 at 2:25pm: Mine wasn't in the cardinal company... We are 20 miles south of Springfield IL.

Comment by missvixster(S7/Div359/PIR11/5) on September 19, 2010 at 10:49am: We are coming from Oregon - biggest airport is Portland - and I did check flying into Milwaukee also. So, if you change is it a straight $150 charge or that plus the flight difference? I read that on one of the fares I was looking at - it was $50 + the fare difference. They get ya coming and going for sure. We will be there Thurs-Monday - I might start looking thru Sunday and see if there is any difference. I think we might be gradngo - my son is going to Pensacola for A-school.

Comment by Lynne on September 19, 2010 at 12:34am: I found a great place for a Meet and Greet I think that will actually divide it up by tables for various divisions so we could mingle and also meet with the families of our divisions. we can order off the menu or do appetizers and come up with a price per person. anyway I sent each of you an invitation please rsvp!!

Comment by Lynne on September 19, 2010 at 12:13am: Where is Auburn Oldest, I'll be coming from Western KY, was your recruit in the Cardinal Company??

Comment by Lynne on September 19, 2010 at 12:12am: i booked thurs through Sunday as well. Check with the airline...sometimes in the fine print...it says you can change the non-refundable for 100.00 which would still be way cheaper than the 800.00 thing...I have done that before...they charge me a penalty for changing

Comment by iowanavygf (s7,Div355,PIR11/5) on September 18, 2010 at 11:42pm: Ok, I booked my hotel rooms.. but how long did you guys book them for? I did Thurs-Sun.. just in case he has liberty.. is that what everyone else did too?

Comment by Oldest of 4 on September 18, 2010 at 11:00pm: Listening to you guys get prepared I feel so lucky to live in IL.I will just have to get hotel for this grad date. WOW what it sounds like for you guys in cost is a ouch! Hope you guys run into some deals by looking early.

Comment by navyarmymom on September 18, 2010 at 10:54pm: JessicaB-Sailor Mom- congrats to your son turning 21. What a great place to spend a 21st birthday!

Comment by navyarmymom on September 18, 2010 at 10:53pm: I booked at Comfort Inn-Waukegan today for 69.00. It was in the brochure we received with the form letter. Is this a good place to stay? Does anyone know?

Comment by navyarmymom on September 18, 2010 at 10:46pm: I just booked our airfare. I did non-refundable because it says if you make any changes it costs $150 which is still alot cheaper than a refundable ticket!
